New Sprouts

I have started a few seedling to continue to experiment growing under artificial light. Here is Ipomoea carnea (bush morning glory)
Beth

Here are three bindweed seedlings (the pink kind)

Here is Sunrise Serenade

You're great with indoor MGs.

my little stringbean is still going but I did start another. the difference in the diameter of the stems is amazing. stringbean's stem looks almost like a human hair it's so skinny. the new one is standard size and doing well.

and Cameo Elegance

The last one is a yellow trumpet morning glory (lutea)

If your new one is normal size then maybe your lighting isn't the problem. Keep us posted on your progress. What variety is the new one you sprouted???
Beth

Beth, I'll have to check. I didn't put a plant marker on either one. Drat!

it ISN'T the Gypsy Bride.

beth..why are you growing bindweed LOL i cant get rid of mine..no matter how hard i try

I know, I know...somebody was going to ask! Well, I have had white bindweed on my farm for the 15 years I have owned it, and I have a special appreciation for it. When I was in college and too busy to garden, it lifted my spirits to see those persistant blooms. It has never really got out of hand and dies back every winter. These new sprouts are supposed to be pink bindweed which I would like to have along with the white.

I should mention I have ten acres here, so there is certainly some space for my bindweed to grow in.

Beth, Your seedlings looking good. Something to look forward to this winter.



Paul, Is that your woodrose (merremia) you started not too long ago?
Unbelievable size already

Looking good Beth. I have 9 started. So looking forward to some winter flowers!!

AHH to have 10 acres!!

Yeah, my dad grew up in Philadelphia (1313 Butler Street) and told me about the row houses there...no land to speak of :(

yes it is

Very impressive Paul. Think I will start one of my seeds in the spring. I wonder if it
takes yrs tobloom.

Here are two seedlings that germinated inside. I used lights that go to a fish aquarium and they seem to work. the seedlings are stout and short. One of them is a i.purpurea cross between Milky way and hot pink and the other is i.nil early call blue.



here is the early call blue.
